monopoly

In this episode of "A Beginner's Guide to AI," we venture beyond the familiar horizon of semiconductor giants to spotlight ASML, the Dutch powerhouse whose groundbreaking technology, extreme ultraviolet lithography, is pivotal in manufacturing the world's most advanced computer chips. Discover how this lesser-known titan plays an outsized role in powering the technologies that define our digital age, from the A-I systems orchestrating our online world to the devices nestled in the palms of our hands.

Join us as we peel back the layers of the semiconductor industry, revealing the intricacies of ASML's technology and its monopoly on the future of computing. Learn about the challenges, innovations, and strategic importance of ASML's work in an era where technology's potential is bound only by the limits of our microchips. Through expert analysis and engaging storytelling, this episode demystifies the complex relationship between chip technology, artificial intelligence, and the devices that connect us.

In its latest fight to curb the power of Big Tech, the US Federal Trade Commission has sued Amazon. The regulator says the e-commerce giant has become such a big monopoly that its practices are hurting consumers and the third-party sellers that rely on its services.

Real-life Monopoly – The important property lessons you can learn 

Besides revealing which family members are sore losers and causing fights, Monopoly has some seriously important lessons about personal finance and investing. 

But can these be applied to real life? 

In this episode of The Property Podcast, Rob & Rob share the important lessons you can apply to your property investments. 

For further learning on buy-to-let mortgages check out this video. 

In the news 

We’ve got two news stories for you this week. 

The first one shares research from Halifax that shows that the average home in the UK now costs 8.1 times the average earnings, suggesting that property affordability has hit a 10-year low. 

But are houses actually less affordable? 

Which? has revealed this five-year mortgage with rates that have dropped below 1%. So, once you’ve overcome the hurdle of saving up your deposit, property can still be pretty affordable. 

Hub Extra 

We’re spoiling you this week as we’ve got three Hub Extra recommendations heading your way. 

The first one is of course, Monopoly the game. If you’ve not played it before, it’s about time you get your hands on a set and give it a go. 

But if like most people, you’ve played Monopoly more times than you can count and you’re up for a challenge Robert Kiyosaki’s version – Cash Flow may be the game for you. 

If you’d rather avoid the family fallout, then make sure you give this podcast episode by Business Wars a listen. 

Business Wars covers all the key battles in business, sharing the stories behind the companies that have shaped what we buy and how we live. Give Monopoly: Winner Takes All a listen to hear the story behind the family classic that was created over 100 years ago. 

Let’s get social 

We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do. 

Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week!  

If that wasn’t enough, you can also join our friendly property community on the Property Hub forum.
